Liberal activists and their allies in the mainstream media are now claiming that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden did not accidentally reference former President George W. Bush instead of President Donald Trump while speaking of the upcoming election.
Instead, liberals claim, Biden was talking about actor and comedian George Lopez, who was on the stream with the former VP and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden.
Notably, however, the context of the slip-up doesn&#8217;t seem to add-up, since Biden warns voters twice that they don&#8217;t want &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-this-is-the-most-consequential-election-due-to-possibility-of-four-more-years-of-george">four more years of George</a>,&#8221; before correcting himself and saying Trump.
“This is the most [consequential], not because I’m running, but because who I’m running against, this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time,” Biden said, as reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-this-is-the-most-consequential-election-due-to-possibility-of-four-more-years-of-george">The Daily Wire</a> on Sunday. “And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot, what kind of country we’re going to be.”
“Four more years of George, uh, George, uh, he, uh,” the former VP continued, “gonna find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected we’re gonna be, we’re gonna be in a different world.”
&#8220;1.1 million views and a Fox story based on the premise that Biden was confusing Trump with George Bush. He was talking to George Lopez,&#8221; claimed The Washington Post&#8217;s Dave Weigel.

&#8220;Because &#8216;four more years of George (Lopez)&#8217; makes more sense than &#8216;four more years of George (Bush)&#8217; when talking about four more years of a GOP administration that you&#8217;re &#8216;running against,'&#8221; The Federalist&#8217;s Mollie Hemingway mocked.

Others in the mainstream media were quick to follow Weigel&#8217;s lead on the story, including journalists at NBC.
&#8220;NBC has added an editor&#8217;s note to this morning&#8217;s &#8216;Today&#8217; show segment that played a clip of Biden saying &#8216;four more years of George, uh&#8230;&#8217; without noting that he was talking to George Lopez,&#8221; said CNN&#8217;s Brian Stelter.

&#8220;It’s now a full-court-press to gaslight you about Biden’s obvious senility from the scummiest hacks in media. The gang’s all here,&#8221; he wrote, captioning a screenshot of Stelter discussing NBC&#8217;s &#8220;editor&#8217;s note.&#8221;

Comedian George Lopez appeared to back a rumored $80 million bounty placed on President Donald Trump from the Islamic Republic of Iran on Sunday, writing on Instagram, &#8220;We&#8217;ll do it for half.&#8221;
An Instagram account posted a graphic that stated: &#8220;Iran &#8216;offers $80 million bounty for Donald Trump&#8217;s head&#8217; after death of general.&#8221;
The Instagram account wrote in a caption: &#8220;#Iranian authorities have put a bounty on American President Donald Trump&#8217;s head during the televised funeral of General #QasemSoleimani after he was assassinated last week. What are your thoughts?&#8221;
George Lopez responded, &#8220;We&#8217;ll do it for half.&#8221;

Lopez&#8217;s remarks are just the latest in a long list of controversial remarks that have been made by celebrities against Trump.
In February 2016, as Trump was closing in on winning the GOP primary, Lopez tweeted an image of former Mexican president Vincente Fox holding the decapitated head of Donald Trump.

The Wrap <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/hollywood-stars-donald-trump-violent-death-kathy-griffin-snoop-dogg/">reported</a> several other controversial remarks that celebrities have made against Trump since Trump entered the political realm. Here are a few of the highlights:
<ul>
<li>
<blockquote>Mickey Rourke: In a TMZ video from 2015, this boxer-turned-actor directed his rage toward Trump, calling him a &#8220;big-mouthed bi*** bully,&#8221; saying he would &#8220;love 30 seconds in a room with the little bi***.&#8221; Rourke has also expressed a desire to &#8220;give [Trump] a Louisville slugger.&#8221;</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<blockquote>Snoop Dogg: Snoop Dogg&#8217;s music video for &#8220;Lavender,&#8221; released in March 2017, (literally) paints POTUS as a clown and orchestrates his death. At the video&#8217;s end, the &#8220;Gin and Juice&#8221; rapper points a gun at the harlequin Trump figure and shoots. But instead of a bullet, a red flag that reads &#8220;Bang!&#8221; fires out of the gun.</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<blockquote>Johnny Depp: During an appearance at the U.K.&#8217;s 2017 Glastonbury music and arts festival, the actor tore into the president – &#8220;I think Trump needs help&#8221; – and then made an ill-considered joke: “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” Depp claimed his joke was misconstrued and eventually issued an apology.</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
The remarks by Lopez come as comedian Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night where he took <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fk-off-ricky-gervais-blasts-hollywood-for-lecturing-world-politicizing-everything-trolls-them-over-epstein">a very different tone as a celebrity toward the whole issue of politics</a>.
“Apple roared into the TV game with ‘The Morning Show,’ a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweat shops in China,” Gervais said. “So, well, you say you’re woke, but the companies you work for – I mean, unbelievable, Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service, you would call your agent, wouldn’t you?”
“So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right?” Gervais continued. “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your god, and f**k off. No one cares about your views on politics or culture.”
